Title:
  Popup steals focus from dash

Bug description:
  Greetings!

  I encountered a problem which I consider to be a flaw in the UX of
  Unity. I hope this report will be useful to you.

  After activating Ubuntu One I began to see the "default keyring was
  not unlocked on login" popup. I can only presume it was caused by
  Ubuntu One, since the popup in no way indicates exactly which process
  is requesting access to the keyring. Since Ubuntu One (or whatever app
  it was) is also incredibly annoying and keeps re-popping it up if I
  click Cancel, I managed to notice a problem with Unity while the popup
  was there.

  The popup dramatically steals focus from the entire system. In the
  dash I am unable to type, I was barely able to open it - it opens only
  in the period of time that the popup is not there. Also, Synapse
  global shortcut doesn't work (Ctrl+Space), and Guake terminal can be
  opened (F12) but I was unable to type any commands into it.

  I think no popup should be allowed to be so agressive in grabbing the
  input from the user.

  I'm not sure if this belongs under Unity, I apologise if this is the
  wrong place to report it.

  Best regards!
